Not false info by her, but rather false information given by SBST and SMRT.

As a result, some of the services like: 80 went fleet reduction....

i think the article meant to say its up to the operators to decide when is 'peak of peak' and if necessary, then DD will be deployed during the short work trips. It might still be true that certain sectors of say for example svc 27 or 53 where it does not go to the height restricted airport basement, gets DD deployed. Couple of months back, 1 SBST customer svc person ever said their strategy is that they will monitor the demand patterns of the service, deploy bigger capacity buses only during that peak hour and the particular sector of the svc that sees high demand. I sure hope they will do something on svc 131 and 145 that are always packed from Vivocity onwards towards Henderson, even way after 9pm...

Try to take 169 during PM peak from WRI to Yishun, you should see the crowdness of whole stretch of ADM Ave East. It is a failure to deploy the rigids though, as ended up people waiting for the next bus (whole stretch of ADM Ave East there) since people from RP and bus stop near WDL Ave 9 had boarded it.

For service 163's side, an additional service 163M trip had been added in feb this year during noon peak hours. The runtime between Sengkang to Toa Payoh and return journey was also reduced in mar this year so as to improve frequency. This time round no changes were made.
I think this is what the news reporters mean...

Looks like there wasnt much BIGGER BUSES being deployed today.
Randomly Spotted:
SMB119C still with 960 today.
7 rigids on 190.
TIB543H
TIB553D
TIB601Z
TIB603T
1 Paige Chua Fisherman Ad OC500LE
2 other adless OC500LEs
4 rigids today on 187.
2 ELBOs (TIB837K and 1 other)
TIB640K
1 Hispano CAC LAWO EDS -

I would say its fair.
Cos 80 somehow or rather duplicates NEL a little.
NEL got 120 trips more. NSL and EWL didnt even get 1 more extra trip. LOL... -
wow
thank god for the DD for 131
Seriously, we need the DD.

One adless Hispano OAC with TIB***M (either TIB541M or TIB622M) alsoMaybe increase the number of trip for those affected services I think.

TIB541M is on 920 today. So I suppose its TIB622M.

Most of the 120 trips fall during the off peak period. That's the key difference.I believe both NEL and NSL/EWL are running close to 95% infrastructural capacity during the morning peak-of-peak periods. How to add trip?
and why ppl blame sbst and smrt for giving wrong info and NOT the media?

NSL/EWL yes I believe they are pretty much at capacity with their number of trains and infrastructural limitations. EB trains at JUR always end up waiting for the train in front to clear the station. 2 mins frequency also lambat.
believe NEL still has the capacity to improve its frequencies at about 2.5 minutes and its based on newer signalling.

the problem with NEL is not enough trains to even reach 2.5 minutes in the first place....

While some got schedule adjustment like Sv 100.Schedule adjustment: 24, 59, 70, 100, 130, 143, 147, 158, 191 (+ 5 trips!), 240, 269 (dunno when)
Fleet reduction: 22, 80, 88, 113
Notice tat off peak freq also got adjusted usually improved.

i think this 'bigger buses during peak hours' criteria had led to SBST deploying a DD on 557 today.

to think of itit's e whole freaking MRT network tat needs a fleet boost.
I suspect e real reason NSL & EWL cannot add on because no more spare train to go ard, else affect e less peak of peak freq.

omg!
Another round of adjustment for BNL Int.

Today 1 rigid replaces TIB868X slot.

today euro lV on 25...
